The Urban Dictionary Mug

A fine, respectable nation. What America should be, but really isn't. Much more diverse and cultivated than most give them credit for, and much more liberal on topics such as narcotics and marriage. Most of the country is unihabitable, and the winters can be excruciatingly cold, but British Columbia is fairly temperate. This wondrous province is sort of like Washington State and Colorado rolled into one. Toronto and Montreal are the major cultural hubs and the people live in harmony. Racism and crime is virtually nonexistant and the people are proud and progressive. However, taxes and gasoline aren't cheap so any potential American defectors, be warned. The U.S. should take some notes and try to emulate the Canadian culture.

The bickering between Canada and the U.S. is pointless. Both countries have their problems and are aware of it, but as neighbors we should stick together and help each other out.

Large country occupying the northern portion of North America.
The name Canada came from a mis-translation by early explorers of a native word meaning Village.
Large in size but sparsely populated, the country was an integral allyplayer in WW2, however most of it's forces were decomissioned when hostilities ceased. Canada contributed many very skilled troops and pilots for the european campaign, and were pivotal in the European beach landings.
Economically, Canada contibutes vast amounts of raw resources not least of which are energy products. Northern Alberta has vast oilsands deposits that may contain as much oil as the middle east, and are mostly untapped, meaning there will still be lots of oil, albeit fairly expensive, long after the wells run dry in Saudi Aribia.
Canada has some of the largest unspoiled forrests left in the world.
Canada's primary trading partner is the USA, which shares the longest ungaurded border (figuratively speaking)in the world.
To address all the flamers out there, Canadians and Americans for the most part like each other, except for an embarassingly high number of obnoxious loudmouths on either side of the border.

Explorer: What is this place?
Native: Kanta.
Explorer: Canada, that's what this country is called.

Explorer: Nope, pretty sure he means the country. This place is called Canada.

One of the 112 countries that President George Bush cannot locate on a map of the world - even if the map is labelled. They only teach shooting and spitting in Texas schools. Bush failed both...always hitting his foot, again with both. Must have been the coke.

"Err, I dunno, is it Canada? The Kingdom of Spain? what the hell do you mean it isn't a Kingdom? East Germany? What wall? Who tore it down? Let's nuke'em ! " - George Bush Jr.
